Do you ever look at the photos your friends post and think ‘They are so lucky. I wish I could live that life.’ You definitely can. That’s your choice not to. The point of this post though, is do you really want to live that life? Often people inbox me and ask what I do.. Ask if they can join in on my adventures, but then comes the resistance..the excuses..and it feels as though I am then having to try and convince them its a great idea and they’ll love it! How did this all of a sudden switch.. They reached out to me right? 🤨

“If its so great at the top of the mountain, then why are people voluntarily jumping off?”
.
Yes, getting an awesome photo is great, but if that’s your drive then you won’t feel satisfied. The photo at the ‘top’ is such a minute part of the process. What if you don’t get one? How are you going to feel on the way down about the hike? How are you going to feel towards your friend that took you? Cheated. Unsuccessful.
PRACTICAL: Experiences are not for everyone. Seek those that give YOU more than just a material thing at the finish line. Joy is not found in finishing an activity, it’s in doing it.

Feeding our brains...🙄🙃 and maybe it was all that sister ❤️ (swipe)that contributed to little brother being awarded such exciting recognition of his life of scientific research endeavours today with Royal Society of Victoria joint Medal for Excellence in Science Research....from the citation... Professor Burkitt and Professor Rossjohn each have made world-class contributions that have, and will continue to transform lives and alleviate human suffering. ...When you look at Professor Burkitt’s career, you have the emerging powerhouse of neuroengineering unfolding before your very eyes, intimately concerned with the function of the brain and its interaction with prosthetic technologies, and an amazing application of that knowledge base to achieve new capacities for those with impairments like epilepsy, or blindness, or hearing loss.”
“Ultimately a modern scientist in these fields needs to be a software engineer, and a frontier toolmaker – challenging fields of expertise before you even start to consider the field of scientific inquiry!” https://rsv.org.au/2018-rsv-medal/. #proudsister#Bungonia ’sbionicboy #Bionic Vision #Bionic Ear #Professor Anthony Burkitt #nowyouknowwhat braindrainis...whenbrainmattergoesblingfromsistertobrother #congratulations to two outstanding scientists who have made such a contribution to mankind with their dedicated research #Royal Society of Victoria #still ❤️ourcake🙄

I still can’t believe this is our home? I am back to America in five days so I won’t be here for a few weeks (my soul will miss it, but duty calls). Alan isn’t feeling great so back to Sydney now to rest up. #bungonia#nsw#southerntablelands

4 to 5 hrs my ass haha. The lady at the visitor centre didnt want me to go alone,but after hiking all around Australia i knew id be fine. This was a grade 5 walk but was so super fun... i did venture off onto the orange, white and green track unintentionally but i made it back and got to see so much more than if id stayed on just one track.

I’ve slowly been working my way through the mountainous task of scanning my entire slide film library & consolidating it with my digital archives! 🤯
The upside has been a trip down memory lane, finding all kinds of old gems. Here’s one of Graham Fairbairn not quite nabbing the first ascent of his ‘A Jealous Mistress’ (28/5.13a) on the South Wall of Bungonia Gorge.
This 900ft gorge is only a couple hours south of Sydney & while BASE is strictly prohibited, a little birdy told me that it’s a pretty incredible spot to jump. For a more relaxing day out, check out the canyoning and caving options!
